I don't know how, MB, but somehow in between reading your post and posting my post I mixed you up with Black Captain. . .blush. . .I was probably reading something he posted on a different thread at the same time (I run two windows at the same time and it gets confusing).
Helcaraxë
07-18-2003, 11:17 PM
I see. So it would be:
"He he he! MB's a munch! MB's a munch! MB's a munch!"
and who's Elgee? Is that your real name?
HLGStrider
07-19-2003, 01:26 AM
Here I go again. . .explaining the Elgee bit. . .my real name starts with an H. . .
HLG=My initiails
HLG being very un-feminine I was always being called a he in my early days so I set out to give myself a more feminine persona.
HLG-H=LG=Elgee
L=El
G=Gee
It's somewhere between an online nickname and an RP character of myself.

I usually use this instead of my native word when speaking about barbecue:
"parrpakuu". That is the english word turned into Finnish phonetically and also slightly altered. It sounds kinda funny in spoken in this way!

My fav word is a local lingo which means no more: weeshee
another would be tsuk-tsak-tsenes-tsimi-a-a - which also means whatever.
And chuvaloo which means everything and nothing at the same time.
and chuvaness - which means knick-knacks

Please, how do you pronounce the "tsuk-tsak.." word?

Haha!
"Ja millä kastikkeella?"
"Pistä parrpekjuu."
:D :D
Does Finnish even have its own word for 'barbecue'? The only words that comes to mind are grilli (obviously a loanword) and ulkopaisto, which isn't even a real word and sounds dumb. :D
Ireth Telrúnya
02-26-2004, 03:49 PM
grillaaminen/grillaus., or like some people say: rillaaminen
Rillaus is a popular Finnish "sport" in summer.
Maybe it comes from english "grill"...what's it in Swedish...I don't remember.
Lantarion

Maybe it comes from english "grill"...what's it in Swedish...I don't remember.
Yeah as I said in the last post it is without the shadow of a doubt a loanword, directly from English or from English through Swedish, where I'm sure the verb would be grilla.
So there really is no actually 'Finnish' word for it!
Ireth Telrúnya
02-26-2004, 11:46 PM
And when you start to think about it, there are quite many loanwords in Finnish, from Swedish and English.
And for example the western coastline dialect (or what it once used to be) is full of Swedish loanwords. For example: Färski=rotten (food) though in Swedish "färsk" means fresh! Maybe this word reflects ancient Finns' thoughts towards imported Swedish fish..or something...
And from English "e-mail" is "meili" or I say quite usually "maili".
And I go see someone performing live, and say it literally in English with the profer Finnish ending: "Livenä".
Those are not yet approved in the real language, though.
Oh well, there are lot of words but somehow I can't remember many right now..I should probably go to sleep.
Lantarion
02-27-2004, 02:00 PM
Yeah there are very many loanwords from Swedish (i.e. from Anglo-Saxon and through English, from Swedish), and from Russian too; but I can't be bothered to think of any now. :o
But this is beside the point! Now start inventing words, or I'll have to detactiliate you all!! :eek: :eek:
